1 General Contract Administration 11 Purpose 12 Definitions This handbook establishes national policy and procedures for the operation and administration of Contract Delivery Service (CDS). This policy requires continuous close coordination among managers of various operations (including Mail Processing, Delivery Operations, and Surface Transportation Category Management Center (CMC) in matters pertaining to CDS. 121 Contract Delivery Service A Contract Delivery Service route is a contract agreement between the Postal Service and a private individual or firm for the delivery of and collection of mail from homes and businesses. The services provided by the CDS carrier are similar to those provided by postal rural letter carriers, including delivery of mail and the sale of postal services. The supplier, depending on the contract requirements, performs specified duties such as casing mail; selling stamps, Certified Mail, Collect on Delivery (COD), Priority Mail Express, Registered Mail, Standard Post, merchandise returns, or money orders; picking up mail from collection boxes; and markup and forwarding of mail. A route may be operated personally by the supplier (owner-operator) or the supplier may elect to hire employees. If the supplier’s hired employees are used regularly, they must be paid the wages and fringe benefits in accordance with the Service Contract Act and the current wage determination attached to the contract. Also, the supplier is responsible for training its hired employees in accordance with the standardized training programs established by the Postal Service for CDS. 122 Contracting Officer The Contracting Officer (CO) is a Postal Service employee specifically delegated authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Postal Service. The Contracting Officer for CDS is the Area Manager, Transportation Contracts, or his delegated representative. July 2013 1
